It has to be a woman that messed Westbrooks head up.Cant think of anything else that could screw up someone's game up so quick.Hes fell of the cliff Looney Tunes style.
Hoping Rondo does this all the way to a title. He is going to be passing some legends on the playoff assist list.
He passed Thomas tonight.
He passed Thomas tonight.
rondo is one of the great passers in nba history. he has many playoff moments and will likely have more in the bubble.
He's such a good passer, and a great rebounder for a guard. If only he could shoot... Didn't have to worry about that when he played with Allen and Pierce.
Welp, all you old farts can go back to watching NASCAR, oh, Sorry, you can't watch that anymore either. What a piss, wine and moan bunch of lard asses.
Well I'm glad youre missing on Bam and Herro playing some of the best coached ball ever. And LeBron and Rondo at 35 running the court like a 18 year olds. And it hangs in the balance if the addition of Anthony Davis can get Labron over the line to perhaps his last title. And you missed out on Murray lighting up for 50 three games in a row. And Houston's freak of nature Hardin seems to never miss. Play off basketball in this bubble is being played at an incredibly high level. last second shots. Overtime wins. Former UK players very much in the mix. If y'all can't find sports drama in that, you might as well check into a senior living and eat soft food and drool with yer TV turned to Fox so you can let Trump tell you who to hate next.

All I can think of when I see Michael Porter Jr is “ayyy, ayyy look how many baddies there are in here”
Big “welcome to Kentucky” moment.

For real lol. Let’s not let 2 weeks of elite play define a persons career. Murray needs to play this way for an entire season. Then keep doing it in the seasons that follow.
Well lets keep in mind that Steph Curry is 9 years older than Murray and had three years of college ball under his belt before coming into the league compared to only one for Murray. So if you compare Murray's 3rd and 4th years in the league to Steph's first and second they are fairly comparable with a slight edge to Curry statistically. It was Curry's 4th year in the league where he blew up to over 20 Points per game but he has always shot consistently over 42% from the three which smokes Murray's percent (35.8%). Curry definitely gives Murray something to shoot for. Kind of like shooting for the moon and landing in the stars even if he misses.
Jamal Murray can be a really good player and not be in the same stratosphere as Steph Curry. He's one of the top 30-ish players of all time and the best shooter to ever live.
It isn't the size or athleticism where you're going to surpass him, most guys are bigger and more athletic and can even shoot really well--they just aren't Steph Curry shooting the ball. It's the difference between Steph and guys like Dame Lillard. There's just no equivalent to being that dangerous, that quickly, from that deep, all the time, even if you're better than him in the other facets of the game.

Let's not forget what Curry had around him, a team that was exponentially better than what Denver is. We still don't know how he will perform after the big4 have been broken up, along with the remaining big3 now having their big contracts. Because of that, the bench had to take a hit and is one of the worst 2nd units in the NBA.
Sure, but none of that takes away from Steph's greatness. Your eyes will tell you all you need to know. A guy like Tony Parker can be a borderline HoF player and part of a great, great overall team/organization and you can see and correctly evaluate that. Same with Steph, except he's the primary *reason* the whole thing works. He's played a big role in revolutionizing the game over the last handful of years.
And I say this as someone who hates Steph and the Warriors. He's filthy and an all-time great. Jamal Murray is a borderline All Star who appears to be ascending, but there's still a huge gap. Murray's ceiling is Gilbert Arenas type stuff. Steph is another level.
Erik Spoestra, whose team enters Tuesday’s Game 5 against Milwaukee with a 3-1 lead in the series, said on Monday that two of the threes came on play calls by the coach and another resulted from a defensive read.
“His game continues to grow and we’re going to continue to ask more of him from both sides of the floor as this series goes on,” Spoelstra said.
If the Heat advances to the Eastern Conference Finals and plays more close games, Herro has a chance to score the most clutch points of any rookie in a single postseason since the NBA started keeping track in 1997.

Herro and Bam about to take the court. I, for one, am enjoying this and am becoming a Miami Heat fan.
Love Murray but this is a tad embarrassing. "Like he's got a baseball glove on."
Whoever gave Kawhi the nickname "the Claw" nailed it. How many guys can block an NBA player's power jam with merely the tip of his middle finger like that?
Sooooo erect when Herro and Bam high fived right there...
Tyler leading or tied for lead in points, rebounds, assists for the Heat in this game.
How funny is THAT ?! They tell the story of Herro getting death threats and having his parents house painted Wisconsin red when he decided to go to UK........they tell that story while all of Wisconsin is watching their Bucks about to get bounced. [roll]
With our luck, some recruit is gonna pick Duke tomorrow and be like "I watch the NBA... and I really like what Coach K has done with RJ Barrett .."
Hero and Bam vs Davis and Rondo.. I think its going to be the HEAT vs LAKERS for the title.
Rondo will be key for the Lakers in that one. The Heat will need Hero and Bam to post good games every time out.
I can't believe how well it turned out for Riley by drafting Kentucky guys.
Like he openly talked about doing it and LOOK at the return. QUICK.!
